January Window

[miller0863]

Well it’s fast approaching and the rumour mills are starting to kick in.
No doubt with our atrocious form and run of results we will be linked with every player in Europe who strings two good games together.

I’ll kick us off …

According to BILD, the club are considering Michael Olise, Kenan Yildiz, Rodrygo, and Iliman Ndiaye as potential targets in the coming weeks.

Liverpool have made "very advanced" contact with the entourage of RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande, according to Sky Sports Switzerland.

The 19-year-old has made a rapid rise in European football, only turning professional upon his initial move to Leganes on a free transfer in January this year.

I wonder what sort of money there is left to spend? How close are we in terms of FFP and all that bollocks?

[Steveo]

We have tons of wriggle I imagine because even despite last summer - we have spent sweet FA…

[miller0863]

Lower net spend than Arsenal last summer

I've heard a rumour that JWH,Big Tom,Hughesy and Mick have all asked their other halves for money this Xmas to put towards the transfer kitty.

Not true tees, Hughesy has asked for an AFC Bournemouth gift card

Haha. Quality.
Money towards Semenyo hopefully. Happy Lolzmas.

Thing is, it’s possible we won’t have Champions League Football next season and if that is the case it will harm both our budget and appeal for the summer window

We can’t afford not to bring anyone in, in January

Totally agree. Who'd have thought after spending all that wedge in the summer they would need to go out again to rectify things.
Just shows what kids in a sweetshop can be like, totally at odds with the measured approach they usually go with. Bought what they wanted rather than needed but that's a hindsight.
None of us were complaining though it has to be said, a few of us had concerns about too many really.
Some players might actually think twice when looking at our current situation it seems that unstable. They'll be wondering who they'll be playing under next season if Slot is the one still there in January.

That's the thing too. Would you come into our club right now? Would you have faith based on the way he's managed new players so far?

Does anyone on here believe Guehi is a done deal?

[Daffydd]

Does anyone on here believe Guehi is a done deal?

Yep (if we get Glasner lol)

[reddownunder]

Does anyone on here believe Guehi is a done deal?

Definitely not in January. No way would Palace risk potentially losing out on a European trophy.
